How the PSR-800 Works
Your PSR-800 is designed with an easy-to-use simplified keypad
that provides
navigation keys, a
MENU
key, a
SKIP
key and a
▶
/II/SEL
key. The PSR-800
ʼ
s uncluttered keypad gives
you instant access to the functions that you need most while
using your scanner.
The PSR-800 is designed to use high capacity MicroSD Card
memory. The PSR-800 uses MicroSD Card memory to hold the
entire RadioReference database for the United States and
Canada, giving you the ability to automatically program your
scanner anywhere without using an external software application
and without connecting to the Internet. We call this special
version of the RadioReference database “the Library”. The
PSR-800 also uses MicroSD Card memory to hold all of your
configuration data, providing virtually unlimited storage space for
your configurations. Multiple copies of radio configurations can
be saved on the MicroSD Card using GRE
ʼ
s new Virtual Scanner
II (VS-II) storage and recall technology.

.
To use the PSR-800, you first browse the Library to find things
that you want to monitor. We call these things “scannable
objects”, or simply “objects”. As you find objects in the Library
that you want to add to the collection of objects that your radio
will scan, you import them from the Library to the PSR-800
ʼ
s
Scanlists, which are also stored on the MicroSD Card. There are
200 regular Scanlists in the PSR-800, and a special “Skywarn”
Scanlist where you can store objects that you want to monitor
during times of severe weather, such as amateur radio repeaters
and power company frequencies that you may wish to monitor
when severe weather is present.
Included with the PSR-800 is a companion PSR-800 PC
Application and USB interface cable that allow you to add your
own objects and edit the objects that are stored in the PSR-800
ʼ
s
Scanlists.
